With seventeen races for the 2023 season, New England Masters started their season two weeks earlier than any other Masters region.

Matt Mitsis joked that, “It goes without saying that this was a challenging season. We encountered just about every type of weather event you could expect to have in the winter and thankfully, they all seemed to fall directly on our race days. But difficulty aside, we made the most of it.”

I know I had a great 2023 ski season even with its weather ups and downs. Let’s keep the sport alive and watch it grow. Come join the fun as season 2024 gets underway (click here for this year’s schedule)!
